Researchers have found that sleeping on a problem may be the best way to come up with a solution.
An experiment was carried out in which two groups of students were asked to pick the ideal car from a selection of imaginary makes, the group that put the decision on the backburner and came back to it later overall made a better choice than the group who had to make a decision right away.
Distracting yourself for a few minutes with something else or, even better putting off the issue until the next day, helps the brain come up with the ideal solution, the study found.
